When 17 Plane Trees Were Felled: Residents Storm Palma City Hall

Answer

Why do tree-felling disputes in Palma often become a trust issue?

They become a trust issue when residents feel decisions are made from the top down and the supporting evidence is not shared clearly. People are usually not only reacting to the loss of trees, but to the feeling that their neighbourhood was not listened to. In Palma, that can turn a technical safety decision into a wider dispute about how public space is governed.
